Hemp takes away our memories

It was found that smoking cannabis just as harmful as any other drugs or cigarettes. And to this conclusion was arrived at independently by scientists from different countries and even from different continents.
For example, Jean Cady of the U.S. National Institute to Combat Drug Abuse in Baltimore tested the 54 addict. All of them have made sonography - a procedure that allows to see how blood moves in the vessels of the brain. It turned out that marijuana greatly complicates its flow to the brain. The body, trying to cope with anoxia, increases blood flow, and this leads to increased intracranial pressure (and there to stroke far!), And headaches. As a consequence of deteriorating and memory, and the more smokes "kosyachkov" the day of the addict, the worse his condition.
The same conclusion was reached and Greek scientists tested three groups of volunteers: Starter smokers of cannabis, drug addicts with long experience and those who smoke very rarely. The first two groups are much worse than coped with the tasks of memory, attention and speed of reaction than the control group. Hardest of tests is easily achieved for memory - remembering tasks at various sequences of words. The displayed their results were far below normal as!
Spanish scientists from the same Barcelona went further and conducted a complex test in mice, which showed that cannabis use leads to a change in the process of protein production in the areas of the brain under the influence of smoking cannabis. "It is very important, because changes in protein synthesis indicates the long-term changes, which do not disappear the next day", - told them. However, still unknown how long the memory can be affected, and recovered a memory of when to quit?
In general, well think, is it worth it? And if you do not part with the shoals in the sacred belief that cannabis is harmless, do not be surprised one morning having forgotten not only where to find socks, but what is your name.
